I got pretty big into the raw food scene about a year ago (this was the drink that did it: Green Goodness). But because I felt that I couldn't live off that type of "diet", due to cost & withdrawal of meat (I need me some chicken), I still found it a pretty interesting experience living off these unique foods. Eventually, while researching up on the ingredients blended in "Green Goodness", I had stumbled across the name David Wolfe, and apparently this was the guy I was subconsciously looking for, since he may as well be the "poster boy" for raw foods, hell you're taken directly to his website by typing rawfoods.com. One of the vids. with him I came across on YouTube gave me a pretty general idea of what these so-called "superfoods" were capable of doing, in terms of health & longevity (It's compiled into about 20 parts, but here is it if any of you are interested , <-- this is the first part by the way). But anyways, I found this to be a pretty fun watch, and I actually just decided to post this for fun on here, so I hope you guys enjoy:
Top 10 Superfoods:
1. Cacao (Higher antioxidant levels than blueberries and pomegranate!? Nawwww...)
2. Goji Berries (2nd best food for longevity, according to Mr. Wolfe of course. BTW he claims honey to be the first best.)
3. Maca (I actually first discovered this "superfood" through Wolfe)
4. Bee Pollen
5. Marine Phytoplankton (Seems to be a pretty good source of Omega-3 IMO. But I feel more comfortable now that I've switched back to taking Fish-Oil)
6. Aloe Vera
7. Spirulina
8. Blue Green Algae
9. Chlorella
10. Hemp Seed
And...
Top 10 Herbs:
1. Mushrooms (Most notably the Medicinal Mushrooms: Reishi, Cordyceps, Maitake, etc.)
2. Ginseng (Actually I've finally just got around to ordering some Panax Ginseng and now am looking forward to incorporating it into my reg. if satisfied.)
3. Astragalus
4. Cat's Claw (Another one I had ordered & looking forward to trying.)
5. Camu Camu Berry (Highest source of Vitamin-C.)
6. Mangosteen Rind

9. Ashwagandha
10. Garlic...
